Just so you all are aware, I’ve been playing with quick cast on my sorceress and realized using a keybind to quick cast teleport actually behaves differently than right click. You know how teleport will fail and you will stop dead if your cursor happens to land over an object? Yeah, somehow quick cast gets around this. You will ignore object mouseovers and teleport anyway when this happens.
Cheers and happy teleporting.
Edit: I’m noticing some other similar QoL improvements with quick casting. Quick casting a spell directly on an enemy and holding the key down will allow the spell to continue casting at your cursor after the target is dead (with right click, casting stops when the target dies). Also, when chain casting like this on your cursor, quick casting continues if your cursor moves over an item label (right click casting will pause when this happens).
At this point I’m just leaving telekinesis on right click since quick cast is so much more convenient for teleport and damage spells.

Thank god. That interaction was so awfully irritating. Accidental QoL buffs are great.
Quick cast seems to be using just the coordinates of your cursor, ignoring any objects under it. It may help with teleporting, but it breaks targeted spells, e.g. Enchant, which you can only Qcast on yourself, not even your merc.

Agreed
It still needs some tweeks
Glad to hear that it finally got rid of that annoying stopping of teleport over every named object. Gonna rebind my teleport to quickcast key now.
Edit: OK … any char with teleport ability (Sorceress, Enigma) Just became immortal
95% of my deaths were cause of teleport stuck on object. Now that’s gone.
This is nice, now if they would only fix the teleport stutter where you double cast without moving at certain FCR
Hold down quick cast and left mouse button together. I don’t know why it works but it does.
I can’t use quick cast on Paladin. It has the reverse effect. Pally’s used to have quick cast with their Auras. Now their auras supersede teleport ability. I would like to have the ability to quick cast teleport from my RMB.
This helps, thanks. Still a bit clunky though, it would be great if they added some rules which skill can interact with what and applied them consistently for cast and Qcast (like Telekinesis for objects, Enchant for allies and Teleport ignoring both; and so on).
I’ve noticed that I’m not mouse clicking 200 times per minute to serve up a spam buffet of death. Just press and hold the function key, while moving the mouse from target to target.
My carpal tunnel in my right index finger might have a chance to heal now…
